A Reno developer is looking to hit the jackpot in Las Vegas by turning a shuttered casino site just south of the city into an industrial park to serve the distribution and light-manufacturing industries.

Tolles Development Co.计划在内华达州的让，在拉斯维加斯以南约20英里处建造近150英亩的公园，在加利福尼亚边境以北15英里处。

该地点（到15号州际公路）为卡车司机带来了更快的周转，可用于从南加州带来货物的卡车司机。

“This is a real strategic location,” says Cory Hunt, chief strategy officer for Tolles Development. "Trucks can do a one-day round trip from the Port of Long Beach to Jean and back."

亨特说，让·吉恩（Jean）的位置可以在加利福尼亚州和内华达州南部之间的往返中刮去两个小时，因为它使卡车司机从不得不通过度假胜地走廊导航，以达到拉斯维加斯山谷北端的现有工业空间。

他认为该公司的新鲜目光是认识到Jean的潜力，Jean一直是赌场城镇已有75年了。

亨特说：“作为进入市场的新进入者，我们看到了在让的机会，传统上可能被认为是离城市太远的地方。”尽管它位于里诺都会区外，但它在内华达州北部也发现了成功。

Tolles Development paid $44.7 million for the Jean property, which includes the casino complex and its utility connections, and surrounding raw land. Hunt says the company will invest “substantially more than that” in a three-to-five-year phased buildout once construction begins next year.

这将包括自流行开始以来就已经关闭的酒店卡西诺（Casino）为预期的分销中心和轻型工业租户腾出了空间。

Hunt says the existing interchange, which served the 1,100 hotel rooms and two casinos that Jean once had, should be sufficient to handle traffic to the park.

他拒绝透露参与该项目的任何承包商或将被称为什么。

UNLV商业和经济研究中心负责人的安德鲁·伍兹（Andrew Woods）表示，该发展成为内华达州南部经济发展最快的部门之一。他说，包括物流在内的“贸易，运输和公用事业”是内华达州南部首位恢复大流行前就业水平的工作部门。

Woods says the Tolles project “hit the nail on the head by seeing the potential in that property,” particularly with a possible shortage of developable land.

伍兹引用了一项针对NAIOP的2021年RCG经济学研究，该研究警新利18备用告内华达州南部的5,000英亩工业土地上有迫在眉睫的赤字，在那里，大部分土地都由联邦政府控制。

He also says the frayed supply chain caused by the pandemic has generated “a lot of talk of more on-shoring—‘just-in-case’ instead of ‘just-in-time.’”

That thinking has already impacted Las Vegas, where a veteran commercial real estate executive says she has “never seen an industrial market more vibrant, more dynamic,” one with vacancy rates below 2%.

“Product that is under construction is 50% pre-leased,” says Donna Alderson, executive managing director at Cushman & Wakefield, where she focuses on industrial properties. “We are chasing our tails to keep up with demand.”
